About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. captures the charm and American spirit that made “Forrest Gump” a smash hit, featuring down-home décor reminiscent of the movie’s setting in Alabama. Now branded as an American icon, the restaurant showcases memorabilia and still-photos from the movie, along with reproductions of script pages, storyboards and even some costumes. At the core, we are a seafood restaurant committed to providing a casual environment where everyone can enjoy a great meal and have some fun too.

    Not the greatest food or service. Very disappointed. The only time our server was friendly is when bringing the bill.

    This location is right across from the beach. The view and ambience is beautiful! They seemed to be lightly staffed so service was a little slow. This restaurant was one of the more reasonably priced in the area. The food was good.

    Our meal took 45 minutes to come out. When it arrived it was cold and tasteless. Will never return.

    We greatly enjoy the seafood hush puppies every time we dine there. Now that they're constructing a hotel or something next to the Bubba Gump's, the ambience outside isn't what it used to be when it had a fountain. Service is always good, the shrimp were a little overcooked and tough in the scampi. Other than that, things were good.

    Chelsea was awesome! She was very busy and running everywhere, but always had the biggest smile and happiest personality. Would linger to joke around and chat with us before running to the next table. Attentive and enthusiastic.

    Chelsea did a great job bartending and serving us, our food was delicious as usual, including the seafood hush puppies, of course we have shrimp scampi, fish and chips, and great drinks !! It was fairly empty in the restaurant considering it was a Friday night.
